Catching Up with a Freebie

Posted on by

Yep, we are back from Louisiana and I got some gorgeous photos!

But, just like I thought, I have a lot of catching up to do. Plus, I just went out of my mind over the weekend and signed up for two more store and am working on trying to get into two more. Watch me burn out ladies little by little.

No, I probably will thrive on it all!

More about the new stores in future posts. I will introduce them one at a time.

Most important I want you all to see this layout-not because my layout skills are so great-though I am not embarrassed by them. But, this layout has my little fella in it–the grandson. The photos are not over a month old so I am doing good right–not too late in getting them scrapped? I used my Whispers of the Forest kit for this and really love how the cardinal and butterfly work in with this layout. You can click on it to be taken to a larger size in the gallery.

I have a nice little gift for you all too. It is a template I made. Before we left for Louisiana, I spent an afternoon making templates for the store blog and while I was doing it I made a few for you all. Hopefully, I am caught up on my templates at the store blog for the next five weeks, so I can afford to share these with you ladies.

Here is a preview of the template:

Drat, gotta get that image fixed to match the blog!

Speed Scrap Layout

Posted on by

Wow –posts two days in a row. I might just be able to get back into the swing of posting more regular on my blog.

Crazy Diamond has been hosting a speed scrap on Saturday nights at DigiScrapStation and I have really enjoyed it. We have a chat room that is real basic there but it does the job. I might just go ahead and spend the $$ to upgrade it since it seems to be used at least once a week.

What is a speed scrap? Well, the hostess comes online and tells us to start our layout by doine this one thing–like pick a photo or several photos or pick background papers etc. Then every ten minutes she gives us another direction. Crazy Diamond is real cool and loose in us interpreting her directions. Last night she told us to pick a photo and then the next step was to desaturate all or part of it. Well, I picked one photo to do this to and added two more color photos. Then she added more stuff each ten minutes. Oh and after the hour is up and we have recieved directions from her every ten minutes, we then have another hour to get the layout posted in the gallery. It really is fun and at the end you have a layout that you have created. Everyone who gets their layout up in time recieves a participation gift as well.

Here is the one I created last night. You can click on it to go to the DSS gallery to leave a comment or see the credits.
